I2C sensor breakout
Generated component files for an ATtiny85 and an LM75, a 4.7 kΩ pull-up on each bus line, and named SDA/SCL nets between them.

What's going on
ATtiny85_20S.tsandLM75.tsare generated files —typecad-pcb add componentwrote them from the KiCAD library. Each pin gets a name and a type, sosensor.SDAreplacesu2.pin(1).- One 4.7 kΩ pull-up per bus line, both to VCC. They live on the nets, not on a special I2C object — SDA and SCL are just named nets.
- The LM75's address pins are grounded, which fixes its address at 0x48. Tie them differently and you get 0x49 through 0x4F — eight sensors, one bus.
- Generated files are ordinary TypeScript: check them into git, edit them, hand them to
typecad-pcb add componentagain only when the part changes.
Generate the parts
terminal
cd my-project/hw
npx typecad-pcb add component # KiCAD library → ATtiny85-20S
npx typecad-pcb add component # KiCAD library → LM75Pick KiCAD library and search for the part — the tool writes the file into hw/src/ next to your entry file. The ATtiny85 file here also names the two USI
pins that double as SDA and SCL.
